Where do you want to live?

Some days, taking the train pales in comparison to the headache finding decent parking in the Boston area can bring about. Many people opt to get rid of their vehicle altogether and avoid embarking on what was once one of the more painful attributes of living in this great city.

Enter technology. Enter sanity. The days of searching through newspaper ads and (only) Craigslist are over. While Craigslist is still our go-to to find one off parking throughout the city, over the years a number of sites and apps have popped up to help residents navigate their journey to parking utopia (or, peace of mind at least).

Here's our list of 10 parking sites able to be searched by area, neighborhood, cost, etc. Please, enjoy reading while you calculate the gas you'll save not having to drive aimlessly looking for somewhere to "park-it". (All hyperlinks will direct you to the Boston-area monthly-rates page on each website).
